Manufacturing apparatus and method for manufacturing an organic electroluminescence panel

A method of manufacturing an organic electroluminescence display panel that has a plurality of organic electroluminescence elements arranged on a substrate, each of the organic electroluminescence elements being formed of at least one organic layer each of which contains a light-emitting layer sandwiched by a pair of electrodes,

• the method comprising the steps of:
• positioning a deposition material sheet formed of a heat-resistant sheet having one main surface thereof coated with a thin layer of a deposition material such that another main surface of the deposition material sheet is brought into contact with one or more heating elements having a heating region corresponding to at least part of a display region to be constituted by a plurality of organic electroluminescence elements to be formed on the substrate;
• causing the thin layer on the deposition material sheet and the substrate to be opposed to each other with a space maintained therebetween;
• and
• heating the deposition material sheet by energizing the heating region, thereby evaporating the deposition material to perform deposition on the substrate.
